GRAHAM – No. 2 Albany has a likely date circled with No. 1 Muenster next week.

But Denney Faith’s Lions weren’t going to overlook Archer City Thursday night at Newton Field.

Four touchdowns in an eight-minute span during the second quarter put the Lions in complete control as they eliminated the Wildcats 48-14.

Albany (10-2) will either face Muenster or Wheeler next week in the Region II-2A Division II semifinals, while Archer City finishes its season at 8-4.

“We weren’t going to look past Archer City. We needed to make sure we took care of this one,” Faith said. “They’re a little beat up, but so are we. We told our kids all week long, there’s no excuses now.”
